Stardust Asylum

I’ve waffled on several pictures, thinking at first that they made me sad, but realizing as I peered closer that the sadness had a strong underlying love to it. A picture of my Grandpa and Oma’s wedding, for example. I’m sad that he’s gone, and I miss him beyond words, but the picture thrills me [...]

Well, that’s all these little guys are thinking about anyway. Their parents clicked some quick photos before the little group of terrors rushed out to trick -or-treat their way around the neighborhood.

Constantine made Daddy Apollo proud this year in his little surgeon costume. He intends to dissect every candy bar he gets in. He plans [...]

This is alllllll for you, thesaraghina!

For the French, today is Poisson d’Avril, or “April Fish.” Many schoolchildren dart about taping paper cutouts of fish to their classmates’ backs. When the prank is found out by the victim, the little perpatrator hops away with the cry of “Poisson d’Avril!” Which in this case means “Never trust the little boy with his [...]

Well, that’s what they should be. On any other little squishie they would be.
However, Constantine wears them very differently. They are the hands that say, “Daddy, let’s negotiate bedtime” or “Dad, didn’t you want a green motorcycle?” Or the hands Constantine uses when he plants himself in front of a closed door, looking sweetly up [...]

The baby…has done it again.
Guess who has something coming in the mail?

Well, after all the angst of the day, I got phone call at 5:40 from the company I interviewed with. Nothing like wondering how you should answer when asked, “How do you think your interview with us went?” I figured I had nothing to lose, so I answered, “Rather well, I thought.”
After a few lines [...]

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day. Constantine didn’t get the things he asked for from Santa (as usual, a puppy, his parents getting married, and a baby brother), but he got a wonderful bunny blanket and a set of undies like Dad’s. He hopes everyone got what they asked for [...]

When will I learn to watch Volks USA with a little more devotion? Or mark on my calendar when they’re going to have events? I just totally missed out on the adorable Yo-SD Christmas Santa outfit they had up for all of…well, two minutes this very early morning.

Look at it! Suspenders! Granted, Constantine may [...]
